The one-way check pressure protection valves protect against leaks in air pressure from the braking system if an air line or valve in an air-operated accessory fails.

The company offers a money-back guarantee.

The Integrated Automated Systems — the SmartTail and the WindTamer — have been verified to meet the California Air Resources Board’s legislation requiring 53-foot trailers in the state to have devices installed that yield 5 percent or more fuel savings. The SmartTail helps improve fuel economy by using automated polymer skins that mount to the rear doors, the company says The WindTamer uses a contoured, low-profile cover mounted on the undercarriage of the trailer.
